I don't want to be the hero of the dog blood article!

"Lord Hu, can Hubu have a lot of money now?"

Early Chao Yunze suddenly asked Hube Shangshu.

When Hube Shangshu heard this question, he sighed: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, now that the war in the northwest has just ended, it is necessary to give statistics and pensions to the soldiers, and the coastal areas still need to be managed, and the gunpowder department is also comparing the research of fire conservancy, not to mention the water conservancy project in Jiangnan plus the replenishment of weapons after the war, so now there are only two million silver taels on the account of Hubu." "

This money sounds like a lot, but for a huge machine like Da Rui, it is too little.

Although there are not many royal clans in the imperial court, after six generations of development, they have already reached the scale of thousands, which is still the result of the lack of heirs of the Yun royal family.

You must know that this is already a lot, in other dynasties, there may even be tens of thousands of people.

And these clan salaries are not a small amount.

And there are also officials and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to be paid.

And with Yun Ze's degree of defeat, it is estimated that this silver will not last for a year.

Seeing Yun Ze's unpleasant face, Hube Shangshu thought about it and cautiously said to Yun Ze: "Your Majesty, if you want to increase the income of the treasury, I am afraid that you will only have to increase taxes now. "

If Yun Ze is really the kind of emperor who is high, why not eat minced meat and does not understand the suffering of the people, he may really agree to this decision and make the national treasury full."

The words tax increase are simple to say, just a matter of Yun Ze's mouth, but for the vast number of people, this is undoubtedly a mountain that presses on them.

What's more, Yun Ze's development consumes silver money, that is, for the people, so he will definitely not raise taxes, and even think about when the national treasury is full and start to reduce taxes.

"Your Majesty, you must not raise taxes, now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, suddenly raising taxes will probably make the people of the world miserable."

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out, knelt down on one knee and persuaded Yun Ze.

Yun Ze didn't say whose proposal was good, but just said to Hube Shangshu: "Lord Hu can change his clothes and go for a walk in the suburbs, maybe he will change his mind." "

Hube Shangshu can make this suggestion, in the final analysis, because he is a child of a family and does not understand the lives of the people at the bottom.

Even the courtiers are like this, so it is not surprising that those sons of heaven who have lived in temples for a long time in history say such things as why not eat minced meat.

After speaking, Yun Ze glanced at the middle-aged man, this person he remembered, it seemed to be the left attendant of the Criminal Department, but he was also a person who understood.

Although Yun Ze did not reprimand Hube Shangshu, it also made Hube Shangshu's heart tremble, and then lowered his head: "Weichen lost his words."

Yun Ze didn't say much, he looked at his cronie, that is, Chen Yujin, the right attendant of Hube.

Chen Yujin also immediately understood what Yun Ze meant, and immediately bent down and said to Yun Ze: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. "

Say."

"That is to open up the northwest border customs mutual market, and communicate with Wala."

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wudu was taken aback

: "Your Majesty, the Vara people are cunning and insidious, and have no credibility to speak of, how can you trade with them?"

"Moreover, the two races are feuds, and I have great wealth and rich property, so why should I make a deal with that barbarian."

There was also a direct kneeling and admonition, and the other ministers thought the same in their hearts.

For Wala, many people in Darui still maintain a high-minded mentality in their hearts, looking down on their primitive and barbaric lifestyle, and do not disdain to trade with them.

This represents the view of many large Swiss classes.

Businessmen would like to see border cross-market opening, but they don't have the right to speak.

"Why not? Isn't the household short of silver? Several mutual markets were opened, controlled by the imperial court, and troops were sent to protect both sides entering and leaving, and heavy taxes were levied on the goods brought in to ease the hardship of the household.

Chen Yujin heard the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu, but still looked at Yun Ze and said with a firm gaze.

The need for mutual markets is more urgent for the Vara people. Because they have just defeated, there must be a lack of a lot of daily necessities, as well as winter items, on the contrary, Da Rui's side, the demand for their property is mostly fungible, so heavy taxes are transferred to the goods, and finally this money is also paid by the Vara people, which does not have much impact on the people of Da Rui.

"This is a good plan, Ai Qing might as well elaborate."

The Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu is a person who can look at the face, and seeing Yun Ze's agreement, he understands that this matter was not raised by the little attendant, but Yun Ze has been planning for a long time.

"The opening of the Northwest Mutual Market has the following advantages. First, tax revenue can be increased, in recent years, there have been many things in various departments and departments, and there have been many wars, and the consumption is very large, so that the national treasury is empty, but it is good for the people's livelihood to be happy, but if the tax is raised rashly, the people's life will be miserable, and the opening of the northwest mutual market to collect heavy taxes can increase part of the national treasury revenue.

Second, the Vara people go south to rob mostly in winter, lack of food and clothing, and when their survival is challenged, life and death are at stake, even if they lose the battle, they will still go south without food, instead of letting them rob, it is better to open a mutual market and sell them at a high price to divide them and reduce the risk of a large-scale war on the border. "

The Vara people are not monolithic, and not everyone wants to fight, and if they have the opportunity to exchange for the items they need to survive, they can put some peace-loving people on an anti-war standpoint."

As soon as Chen Yujin finished speaking, Hube Shangshu immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this plan is feasible, if he can dig up some silver from the Vara people to subsidize the treasury, and increase the source of taxes, it will also make the treasury a little more abundant." At

this moment, Shangshu of the Ministry of Works also echoed: "It would be a good thing if we could collect heavy taxes and use the silver taels of the Vara people to study weapons against the Vara people."

But at this time, Shangshu of the military department stood up and said: "What Lord Chen said is reasonable, we fought against Vara for five months in the spring of this year, and Da Rui's losses were heavy, and now the national treasury is afraid that it can no longer afford to fight."

It's just that the Vara people lack iron, and if they melt the pot we sold to and forge swords, won't this give the Huns a chance to grow?

"Lord Wang's concern is justified, but I have a solution. If the Vara people wanted to buy an iron pot, they had to exchange it for an old broken iron pot and put a sum of money on it before selling it to them, so as to ensure that no excess iron would flow into the Walla. Shangshu

of the Ministry of Works said with a smile, their Ministry of Engineering has not collected the broken sword and sword and returned it for re-smelting.

Bingbu Shangshu's eyes lit up: "Lord Kong's plan is very clever, and the minister has no problem."

Yun Ze then spoke: "Don't worry, adults, everything sold to the Vara people will be screened and only used for their daily life, and cannot cause harm to my Darui."

"This matter will be led by Chen Shilang, you draw up a list, and we will make a decision."

"Lord."
